NESO plays a central role in connecting today’s operational demands with tomorrow’s energy system needs, operating the system in real time while planning for reliable, clean and affordable energy.
The Whole Energy System Resilience Directorate turn insight into action by prioritising whole-system risks, assuring analysis and reviews, and coordinating improvement across industry and government.
One example of this, is the North Hyde power outage, illustrating this model in practice. Following the incident that affected over 70,000 customers and closed Heathrow for 24 hours, the response is focused on activities to strengthen resilience and drive coordinated improvement.
